This is a stunning game, an experience that almost feels too big to exist on mobile but is also the perfect fit. It is honestly a massive shame that there is no way to surrender during space battles - this simple feature, even if it punished you badly and stripped most of your resources, would give me everything I need to recommend it to all my friends. As it is, the game can just be too frustrating for most people when they essentially lose a run due to an unlucky encounter they can't escape.

Update: since downloading it to my Chromebook, I haven't stopped playing it. It has replaced all my other games and still not tired of playing I bought this game, ensured my device was compatible, and have updated my android systems, but it still simply opens to a loading bar that doesn't move, saying verification has failed, and nothing seems to change it

I hate trying to use those little sliders to get them to land on the exact numbers each time I start a game. Also, it would be less of a pain to start new games if the game could remember preferred starting galaxy, appearance, gender, NAME, ect. It is a lot to fill out each time and would be so much less of a pain if the game just remembered my last choices at the VERY least. Most of the experiences I hope to have had with this game on purchase are all behind heavy RNG hard mode unlocks.

This is a real game on your mobile! And there's no time gating, so once you pay for it, you can play when the mood strikes. Also no penalty for not playing every day. And easy to pause if needed, so perfect for playing when waiting your turn. As a game I enjoy this: you're not forced to do what the developer wants, but there are many different paths you can take and you can play the way you like to play. I'm totally hooked!

Literally the full space RPG experience all packed into a single game. Huge value for multiple playthrough along with achievements that unlock more variety as you go. Manage crew, ship, weapons, modules, crew morale, crew jobs, skills, gear, and entire character as you go. I never imagined being sucked into this game when I installed but I am more that satisfied by all 30 or so playthroughs I've experienced. Well done devs!!

I love this game, it's truly a gem but my game starting crashing. I can't play it anymore I was doing a mission and my game crashed. Every time i log in to my save it crashes and closes. I'm only lowering the rate to call your attention hahaha for i think the game is amazing. I tried to clear the cache but it didn't work so it's either get the bug patched or start a new game, lose all my progress and pray it doesn't happen again 😭

The hardest and most frustrating game you will fall in love with. I almost hate how I can have this much fun losing. Almost. There are no micro transactions, this is the whole game, and it has unlocks from play. Multiple story endings, multiple story paths, with sandbox style play. Hard to believe people still make games like this, but the Brothers do. Deep strategy, lots of fun to build your captain and crew, customize ships etc. Love it.

Incredibly complex and fun dice-rolling, sci-fi RPG. Check out some guides before playing if you're unfamiliar with this type of game or if you get overwhelmed with the number of options/talents/jobs/etc. Once you get your first character going, everything starts to fall into place and things start clicking and churning. Lots of content here, and definitely a time killer when you're playing offline (I play on planes all the time).

Honestly the game caught me off guard. There is a little bit of a learning curve if you want to play on the higher difficulties but outside of that u can wing it. You want to be a bounty hunter? Go for it. You want to explore planets hunting aliens for illegal artifacts? Do it. You want to trade rare goods through an established network of contacts. Sure thing. Story lines for each "chapter" are interesting too. Which is rare for space sandboxes.

Plenty of depth, and for once I'm actually enjoying the story of a mobile game. No IAPs, no real-life wait times, plenty to do and plenty of strategy and ship-building to keep you occupied for a while. EDIT: The ship combat is just unfairly imbalanced. No matter what skills my crew has, or what tactics I use during a fight, I'm always at a disadvantage. The enemy ship rarely misses, and my missiles in particular miss about 90% of the time. Losing to ships rated well below mine. Still fun though.
